Supervision for an Intern-Therapist
In Portland, Oregon, whether you're working toward licensure to become a social worker, licensed professional counselor, licensed marriage and family therapist, psychologist, or other mental health practitioner, you must meet the requirements of an Oregon licensing board for your supervision. Supervisors provide feedback, guidance, and support for beginning Boston therapists. Many supervisors offer both group and individual supervision on a weekly basis.
In supervision sessions, a variety of topics may be explored, such as ethics, legal issues, assessment, techniques of counseling, and application of theories. Supervisors sometimes ask supervisees to bring case notes and/or videotaped client sessions for discussion. If appropriate, supervision groups may also discuss issues related to starting and maintaining a private practice as a therapist in Portland, Oregon.
The relationship between a supervisor and supervisee allows the supervisor to model techniques and provide ideas that the supervisee may then apply in his or her sessions with clients. It also provides supervisees an opportunity to gain insight into transference and countertransferance reactions that occur in sessions with clients.
